Lesson 9 (Class IX)

The North Ship

Philip Larkin

---

About The Author and Text (লেখক এবং গল্প সম্পর্কে) :

Philip Arthur Larkin (1922 – 1985) was a renowned English poet and novelist. His first book of poetry was The North Ship, followed by two novels, Jill and A Girl in Winter. He came to prominence in 1955 with the publication of his second collection of poems, The Less Deceived, followed by The Whitsun Weddings and High Windows. He was offered the position of Poet Laureate in 1984 but he declined it.

ফিলিপ আর্থার লারকিন (১৯২২-১৯৮৫) একজন প্রখ্যাত ইংরেজী কবি ও ঔপন্যাসিক ছিলেন। তাঁর প্রথম কাব্যগ্রন্থটি ছিল দ্য নর্থ শিপ, তারপরে দুটি উপন্যাস জিল এবং এ গার্ল ইন উইণ্টার। ১৯৫৫ সালে তিনি তাঁর দ্বিতীয় কাব্যগ্রন্থ ‘দ্য লাস্ট ডিসেভেড’ প্রকাশের মাধ্যমে সর্বাধিক পরিচিতি লাভ করেন, তারপরে দ্য হুইটসন ওয়েডিংস এবং হাই উইন্ডোজ। ১৯৮৪ সালে তাঁকে কবি বিজয়ীর(Poet Laureate) পদ দেওয়া হয়েছিল কিন্তু তিনি তা প্রত্যাখ্যান করেছিলেন।

This poem describes the journey of three ships that head to different destinations. While two ships return, one presses forward and faces perils to continue its long onward journey, almost like a symbol of aspiration that overcomes all obstacles.

এই কবিতাটিতে তিনটি জাহাজের ভ্রমণকে বর্ণনা করা হয়েছে যেগুলি বিভিন্ন গন্তব্যস্থলে যায়। যখন দুটি জাহাজ ফিরে আসে, একটি প্রচণ্ডবেগে সামনের দিকে এগিয়ে যায় এবং বিপদের মুখোমুখি হয় দীর্ঘতর সম্মুখযাত্রা চালিয়ে যাওয়ার জন্য, প্রায় আকাঙ্ক্ষার প্রতীক হিসাবে যা সমস্ত বাধা অতিক্রম করে।

The North Ship Class 9 Bengali Meaning

I saw three ships go sailing by,

আমি দেখলাম তিনটি জাহাজ চলাচল করছে,

Over the sea, the lifting sea,

সমুদ্রের ওপার দিয়ে, উত্তোলক সমুদ্র

And the wind rose in the morning sky,

এবং বাতাস বইল সকাজের আকাশে,

And one was rigged for a long journey.

আর একজনকে দীর্ঘ যাত্রার জন্য কার্যোপয়োগী করা হয়েছিল।

The first ship turned towards the west,

প্রথম জাহাজটি পশ্চিম দিকে ঘুরল,

Over the sea, the running sea,

সমুদ্রের উপর দিয়ে, চলমান সমুদ্র,

And by the wind was all possessed

এবং বাতাসের অধিকারে সমস্ত ছিল

And carried to a rich country.

এবং একটি সমৃদ্ধ দেশে নিয়ে যায়।

The second turned towards the east,

দ্বিতীয়টি পূর্ব দিকে ঘুরল,

Over the sea, the quaking sea,

সমুদ্রের উপর দিয়ে, কম্পমান সমুদ্র,

And the wind hunted it like a beast

এবং বাতাস এটিকে অনুসরণ করছিল একটি পশুর মতো

To anchor in captivity.

বন্দিদশায় নোঙ্গর করতে।

The third ship drove toward the north,

তৃতীয় জাহাজটি উত্তর দিকে চলে গেল,

Over the sea, the darkening sea,

সমুদ্রের উপর দিয়ে, কালো সমুদ্রে,

But no breath of wind came forth,

কিন্তু বাতাসের কোনও নিঃশ্বাস বের হল না

And the decks shone frostily.

এবং ডেকগুলি হিমশীতলভাবে জ্বলজ্বল করছিল।

The northern sky rose high and black

উত্তরের আকাশ উঁচুতে এবং কালো হয়ে উঠল

Over the proud unfruitful sea,

গর্বিত নিষ্ফলা সমুদ্রের ওপরে, 

East and west the ships came back

পূর্ব এবং পশ্চিম জাহাজগুলি ফিরে এসেছিল 

Happily or unhappily.

সুখী হয়ে বা অসুখী হয়ে। 

But the third went wide and far

তবে তৃতীয়টি প্রশস্ত এবং দূরে গিয়েছিল দিগদিগন্তে 

Into an unforgiving Sea

নির্মম সমুদ্রে 

Under a fire-spilling star,

আগুন ঝরান তারার নীচে, 

And it was rigged for a long journey.

এবং এটি একটি দীর্ঘ যাত্রার জন্য কার্যোপয়োগী ছিল।
